- Intervention effect Low-intensity LED light during proliferation or late maturation had little effect on embryogenic tissue growth.
- Intervention effect Low-intensity LED light during proliferation or late maturation had little effect on embryo productivity.
- Intervention effect Low-intensity LED light during proliferation or late maturation had little effect on embryo survival.
- Intervention effect Different germination spectra produced significant differences in embling shoot growth.
- Intervention effect Different germination spectra produced significant differences in embling survival.
- Observation The best light spectrum varied between trials.
- Association SE culture genotype had a stronger effect than light spectrum.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that various spectra and PWM-adjusted intensity can be used in spruce SE germination.
- Recommendation The authors find no need for lighting or light protection during handling of proliferation and maturation cultures.
